Abstract: The present invention is directed to a polyisocyanate mixture whichi) has an NCO content of 10 to 47% by weight,ii) is prepared from a mixture of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate and a cyclic organic diisocyanate having (cyclo)aliphatically-bound isocyanate groups in a molar ratio of 10:90 to 90:10 andiii) contains isocyanurate and allophanate groups in a molar ratio of monoisocyanurates to monoallophanates of 10:1 to 1:5, wherein the allophanate groups are formed from urethane groups which are based on the reaction product of an organic diisocyanate having (cyclo)aliphatically bound isocyanate groups and a monoalcohol containing at least 1 carbon atom and having a molecular weight of up to 2500.The present invention is also directed to a process for the production of these polyisocyanate mixtures and to their use, optionally in blocked form, as an isocyanate component in two-component coating compositions.

Abstract: A high solids, chip resistant, sprayable polyurethane coating composition comprising the reaction mixture of a ketoxime-blocked polyisocyanate and a cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid-based polyester polyol, is disclosed. The composition is characterized by its relatively low viscosity and the resulting coating is characterized by its low volatile organic content.

Abstract: Products are prepared containing a radiation-sensitive reactive material and a saturated polyol. The product is used to bond films either through radiation or free radical initiation. The product is usable for bonding such films as polyester, polyvinylchloride, polyethylene, nylon or acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene copolymers.

Abstract: Apparatus for retracting and securing the grapple head (22) of a grapple skidder (10) for travel over rough terrain in an unloaded condition. A pair of cables (94, 96) of equal length are attached to the grapple head at points laterally spaced from the vertical pivot axis of the grapple head. The cables extend through a guide member (100) on the grapple arch (20) and are wound together onto a winch (24) mounted on the skidder frame (14). The guide member has a relatively large opening (106) flared outwardly and downwardly facing the grapple head, and a relatively smaller opening (108) flared outwardly and downwardly facing the winch. In normal operation of the grapple, the cables are left slack. When the grapple head is to be secured for travel, the cables are winched in. Since the cables are wound together, they retract together regardless of the relative tension in each cable, such that the grapple head automatically becomes centered square to the back of the skidder when the cables are winched in.
